Politics PA

Wow, what a decade! Whether it was in-state drama surrounding late night pay raises for lawmakers or multi-year (with no end in sight) corruption scandals, Harrisburg hasn’t been short on story lines. PA made waves on the national level, too. Presidential candidates now fight harder than ever for commonwealth’s electoral votes and Pennsylvanians (like Casey, Ridge, Rendell, Santorum) have become major players in national politics. Now, House races in the 6th and 7th have already captured the attention of national observers, Specter’s party switch has created two heavyweight battles (primary/general) for the PA’s Senate seat, and the race for governor in PA is on everybody’s radar. On to 2010 and beyond!
